Yes, you can store Cream of Wheat in jars and it will keep a long time. I don’t like plastic because some plastics will leach odor and taste into foods. Also, mice can and will chew through plastic to get at the food inside. I’ve had that happen and I wasn’t very happy about it! I’ve had it last for longer than 2 years. Usually the only thing that will make it go “bad” is if it gets rancid. This doesn’t hurt you but it will smell and taste bad. — Jackie
